Falkirk Council will spend an extra £300,000 repairing roads in advance of an elite cycling race that passes through the district in August, if councillors give their approval.
The UCI Cycling championships are billed as the largest cycling world championships ever, involving over 8000 competitors from 152 countries.
It is expected that they will attract more than 1 million spectators in total and council officers believe it will be a great opportunity for Falkirk to promote the local area internationally.
